EA has revealed the rather underwhelming contents of the first Battlefront DLC, as Finn himself campaigns for a story mode.

The full details of the Outer Rim DLC for Star Wars: Battlefront have been revealed, and we’re not sure they’re going to placate all that many fans.

As previously guessed the new hero characters are Greedo and Nien Nunb, which EA are optimistically describing as ‘iconic’. Disappointingly, this still leaves out plenty of much more obvious Star Wars characters to play as, including Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian, Ben Kenobi, and any of the other bounty hunters.

It was already known that the Outer Rim won’t contain any new planets, although later DLC will. Instead you’ll get one new map on Sullust (an industrial factory) and two new ones on Tatooine (Jabba’s throne room and a sail barge garage).

The first of four planned DLC packs

There’s no sign of any new vehicles, not even for Fighter Squadron, but there will be a new game mode called Extraction – which sounds like a variant of Capture the Flag.

New weapons will also be added, including the V-10 rifle, DT-12 blaster pistol, scatter gun, dioxis grenade, and adrenaline stim Star Card.

We think dioxis is the stuff they were trying to gas Liam Neeson with in The Phantom Menace, but we’re drawing a blank on the others.

@EAStarWars Will fans get a full on offline story mode? It's more of an enjoyable way to learn controls.

But for those hoping for a bit more meat on Battlefront’s bones, you’re not alone. British actor John Boyega, who claims to be a fan of Battlefront in its previous incarnations, has tweeted EA to complain about the lack of a story mode.

EA didn’t have much of an answer for him, but did agree to let him come and tour the UK studio (even though Battlefront is made by DICE in Sweden).

There seems very little likelihood any story content will be added to the game though, and nor do there appear to be any plans for any The Force Awakens content.

Although, since the final DLC doesn’t come out until January, there may be some designed around new film Rogue One – which is set during the same time period as the original trilogy.

@EAStarWars yeah thought it was great! But definitely leaves you wanting to engage within a narrative. Can I visit your base in the uk?
